Tesla electric pickup gets “Blade Runner” nod: Now what will it look like?

The unrelenting nods to 1980s cult science-fiction memes also add to the suspense about the truck’s final design.

A fully electric version of the Ford F-150 is on the way potentially as soon as 2021, while an all-electric GM pickup will follow in 2022 or 2023.

As standard features, the Tesla truck will include dual-motor all-wheel drive, plus a suspension that will dynamically adjust for load.

Tesla hasn’t yet been any more specific about when the truck will reach the market, other than saying that it will come “right after Model Y,” according to Musk. (Green Car Reports)

Elon Musk: l’innovatore ironico. La sua fama si è ingrandita in modo particolare dal 2017, in cui inizia la produzione di speciali tegole che permettono la funzione di pannello solare così da posizionarsi come uomo dell’anno per tecnologia e ambiente. (Tecnoandroid)

Tesla could also walk back from prior suggestions that the “cybertruck” would start at less than $50,000 and with the 400-500-mile range, he said. Tesla is likely to target the pickup’s production to the end of 2020 to early 2021, with deliveries in 2021, Sacconaghi said. (MarketWatch)
